Outstanding

The fresh salsa called for here has a natural low-sodium advantage over bottled commercial salsa. A rotisserie chicken with the skin removed can be used for the shredded chicken breast, but keep in mind that this will increase the amount of sodium in the dish.

Prep: 13 minutes; Cook: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)

Ingredients

  • 2  cups  shredded cooked chicken breast

This is a great simple recipe. I didnt have a spring form pan so I just cooked in on a round cookie sheet. I added some frozen corn that I defrosted for a couple more veggies. I used jar salsa just to make it easier. The bean dip was too spicy for our kids, but all the adults loved it. I will make it again for sure!!09/20/09
